Very funny!

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?

Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

A 285/60 is for a truck, a 285/35 would be slightly less wide than a 285/40, but if a 315 barley rubbed than a 285 should clear.

235 would look funny on a 9" wheel, maybe a 245 may look better, but if you could tuck a 255 in there, I wonder what Luke is running on his coupe, you may want to ask him.

how is a 285-35 less wide then a 285-40...they're both 285's...? The only diff is the sidewall profile... [Confused]

to run the tire size i posted maybe roll the fender an little pounding inside. an flip the quad shock. when i ran the 305's i had to pound alot on the inner fender an stretch that metal. but the 295's should be fine
